We thought that in prehistory people ate pure meat. The burnt bottom of a pot just showed that we were refined chefs

March 10, 2026 by usatoday24

For years, popular culture has sold us the image of a prehistoric man whose diet was based almost exclusively on devouring large amounts of roast meat. However, science has been dismantling this myth for years, and now a study has analyzed the remains embedded in ancient vessels, which is the equivalent of ‘socarrat‘of Valencian paella. And the results suggest that our ancestors were, in reality, extremely creative cooks. What has been seen. Beyond what we think, that the prey of the day was hunted and immediately roasted on the fire, science has proven that European hunters almost 8,000 years ago combined freshwater fish with a wide variety of vegetables, using advanced culinary techniques to improve flavors and neutralize toxins. Something similar to what we do today in the kitchen, as reported by El País. Where did we see it? The study, with Spanish participation, reached this conclusion without having to search in the fossilized bones, but in something much more subtle such as the scabs of charred food adhered to 85 ceramic fragments that come from 13 archaeological sites in northern and eastern Europe. How it was done. Once these remains were located, it was decided to apply cutting-edge technology, such as scanning electron microscopy combined with molecular analysis of these remains. Until now, plant remains in archeology used to be underestimated because they degrade much faster than animal bones. But the electron microscope has revealed an astonishing level of detail, detecting plant cell tissues and microscopic fish scales that have been able to survive millennia thanks to being burned and adhering to clay. The results. With all these techniques we have been able to answer what was cooked in those clay pots, and the truth is that we must forget the idea of having a piece of meat on the fire, but instead recipes have been revealed that meticulously mixed proteins and carbohydrates. The researchers were able to see remains of freshwater fish here, highlighting carp and barbel, leafy vegetables such as spinach, roots and bulbs such as beets, and also berries. Viburnum opulus. A prehistoric chef. Perhaps the most fascinating discovery of González Carretero’s team is the sophistication of the culinary techniques, since the berries of Viburnum opulus They are known to be slightly toxic when raw and have a tremendously acidic and bitter taste. However, prehistoric inhabitants discovered that by simmering them in a broth with high-fat fish, the bitterness was neutralized, making them digestive and safe for human consumption. And this mixture was not accidental, but a handed down recipe that always sought to improve the flavor. Culinary revolution. This work joins a growing wave of studies that are rewriting the history of our diet. Already in 2018 it was published in PNAS the discovery of the oldest “bread” in the world in Jordan, baked 14,400 years ago, long before agriculture was invented. But now these food remains point to the fact that the so-called paleo diet did not exist as they wanted to sell it to us. We learned that our ancestors knew their environment perfectly, mastered the processing of toxic plants and spent time preparing complex stews where vegetables and tubers were main dishes, not a simple garnish.

the first large pure hydrogen turbine to fight renewable waste

December 29, 2025 by usatoday24

Talking about renewable energies is talking about China. Although they continue to burn coal and gas and want to become an oil power, the country is positioning itself as the major player in renewables. Also of the ‘megastructures’. And, combining both, we have Jupiter I. It is the first 30 MW class turbine in the world that works with pure hydrogen, it has just been launched. light and they aspire for it to be the solution to one of the biggest renewable energy problems. Take advantage of surplus energy. Jupiter I. Like practically everything that has to do with energy and China, the numbers of this plant are, to say the least, striking. Now we will get into the fact that it is the first 30 MW class turbine that runs on pure hydrogen. There are others in the world that operate in pilot mode on a scale of 5 or 10 MW, but they are natural gas turbines that have been converted. Jupiter I has been designed from the ground up as a pure hydrogen machine that, in combined cycle mode, can generate 48 MWh. It is estimated that it is enough to satisfy the daily demand of more than 5,500 homes. Those responsible for the turbine they claim that the machine “can use more than 30,000 m³ of hydrogen per hour, which calculated annually is the equivalent of 500 million kWh.” In perspectiveit’s like filling the gigantic Hindenburg airship 25 times every hour. And the key to this is that it is electricity stored in the form of hydrogen pure hydrogen. Although it has not fully caught on in sectors such as utility vehicles, hydrogen has the potential to be one of the fuels that helps achieve decarbonization objectives. It all depends on its color: green is achieved through renewable energy and black through burning coal, for example. Turbines are classified according to the type of fuel they burn and the percentage of hydrogen in the mixture. There are those that use only up to 20% H2, others that use 50% H2 and those that use pure hydrogen, which operate entirely with this fuel. They are usually pilot or demonstration units, but Jupiter 1 is the first of its kind in which all its systems (combustion chamber, injection and flame control) are optimized for that fuel. Megaplant. The turbine is not isolated. It is located in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, and is part of a larger system. It is inside a 500 MW wind farm. It is not an astronomical figure considering what we are used to, but it is important to remember that not all the energy produced by renewables is stored correctly. Much of it is wasted, either because there are not enough batteries, or because it is not consumed when needed or because it is stored and lost. How it works. That’s where Jupiter I comes into play. The system works through a kind of closed cycle of electricity – hydrogen – electricity. When wind turbines generate more energy than the grid can consume and it is not going to be stored in batteries, turbines like this one can use that excess to produce green hydrogen. Once produced, it is stored in tanks, and at the Ordos plant there are a dozen of 1,875 m3 each. If the grid is stable and can operate well with renewables, that hydrogen is stored there, but in times of greater demand or when renewables cannot satisfy it, that stored green hydrogen comes into play to produce emissions-free and immediately accessible electricity. Fighting deserts. Placing a hydrogen turbine right in a renewable plant solves the challenge of wasting electricity, but also that of transporting hydrogen, which we have already seen is complicated. Precisely, that is where those responsible say that the technology has great potential. It is in the deserts where China has found an oasis of renewable energy, and having turbines of this style can further enhance those megascale energy projects – greater than 1 GW – that China is deploying. Now we have to see if it fulfills what it promises, since it is the first of a pilot project, but according to warned by the China National Energy Administration in June this year, it will not be the last.

We have been thinking all our lives that prices end in “.99” out of pure psychology. The reason was much more earthly

October 28, 2025 by usatoday24

The omnipresence of the price ending in .99 (today perceived as a consumer psychology) actually has a very different origin. Before the bias was studied and exploited, the figure was used by a machine to not only shield accounting, but also to found an entire culture of compliance, auditability and commercial discipline. The origin. In business at the end of the 19th century, the problem was not so much convincing the client, but preventing them from the money would disappear before reaching the owner. The cash passed through the hands of waiters and clerks without a trace, and the temptation to “keep some” was structural. The solution was not more human surveillance, but a luck of prosthesis mechanics: a machine that would require each sale to be recorded and that, when opened to make change, will leave an audible signal and a verifiable trail. The price at .99 made it inevitable to open the box to return the cent, forcing registration and eliminating the gap through which the money was lost. Trader with engineering instinct. The seed was born in Dayton from a tavern owner who already came from a family with a vocation to invent. James Rittyfed up with losses in his businesses, saw how a machine counted the revolutions of a propeller and suddenly understood that the same could be done with sales: if something can be counted mechanically, it can be audited. So, he returned to Dayton, worked with his brother John (an experienced mechanic) and built the first sales recorder: keys that represented amounts, a visible dial to check the figure and, later, a drawer with a bell and a scroll that left a physical mark of each transaction. Reproduction of Ritty Dial, an early example of a practical cash register NCR: from machine to industrial culture. Shortly after, when John H. Patterson buys the invention from the brothers and creates the National Cash Registerthe mechanism ceases to be an Ohio bar oddity and becomes a compliance standard in American commerce. The idea thus mutated in the industry. NCR not only manufactured boxes: manufactured method. It introduced a sales school, scripts, discipline, metrics, incentives and exported that corporate DNA via its graduates to other companies such as IBM and General Motors. The cash register It was not just a device: it was a way of governing the organization through material evidence rather than blind trust. National cash register from the late 19th century The .99 changes purpose. Decades later, when the reason anti-corruption was already solved by design, behavioral economics discovers that the .99 deforms the perception of value: anchors in the left figure, suggests a bargain, reduces psychological friction and stimulates impulsive buying. The same accounting gesture was now used for a very different war: it was no longer against theft, but against mental resistance of the buyer. The convention is stabilized because it generates economic margin even when the risk of theft has fallen due to digital processes. The .99 mutates from an anti-fraud technique to persuasion toolmaintaining its validity for a reason radically different from the one for which it was born. The device survives not because of tradition, but because it continues to generate economic advantage under a different paradigm. It survives because it works. The truth is that the .99 has lasted a century and a half because solved two problems different at two different times: first it prevented the seller rob the ownerand then helped the owner persuade the buyer. This double utility explains its persistence. If you will, it is proof of how in commerce what begins as compliance engineering ends as behavioral engineering. And every time today we see 4.99 or 9.99 in sales, we are actually reading (without knowing it) the fingerprint fossil of an invention originally created to close a hole economic before consumer psychologists existed. Codifying discipline. Thus, the box that was invented to catch petty theft It altered the physics of commerce: it introduced traceability, professionalized sales, and bequeathed a pricing convention that still programs how we read money in modern societies. A prosaic problem (a waiter who keeps some coins) inaugurated a causal chain that ended up shaping an entire century of business practice. And in reality, the bell that rang to warn the owner more than a century ago, now also rings, silently, in the consumer’s head every time he sees that .99 and decides that “it is less”…than it really is.

why that bright red is pure marketing

October 25, 2025 by usatoday24

You are in front of the counter. On the left, a bright red, almost advertisement-like steak that screams “eat me, I’m fresh!” On the right, a piece of a duller tone, perhaps a little darker, but streaked with fine white lines. Which one do you choose? Most we launch ourselves into the vibrant red. It’s a reflex action. Although he is not always the smartest. It is something recognized by those who are in contact with this product all day, such as butchers. One of the examples is Mariano Sánchez who told La Vanguardia recognized that customers can pay a lot of attention to the color of the product, but he points out that the real key is in the fat of the fillet. This makes us have an almost obligatory question: is this a simple shopkeeper’s trick or does it have a real scientific basis? The short answer: you are absolutely right. They have been deceiving you, and a protein and a little oxygen are to blame. The myth of bright red. What we associate with “fresh meat” is nothing more than a superficial chemical reaction. The color of meat is determined by a protein called myoglobin.which stores oxygen in the muscle. In this way, when the meat is freshly cut or vacuum packed, the myoglobin is in its natural state (deoxymoglobin) and has a fairly dark purple-red color. And this is not something bad or something that should be despised. But when meat reacts with oxygen in the airthe myoglobin reacts and becomes oxymyoglobin. This compound has the bright cherry red color that attracts us so much. It is literally the ‘blooming’ that occurs on the surface. In short: the color bright red it only indicates that the meat has been in contact with airnot that it is of better quality, more tender or tastier. In fact, a vacuum-packed meat (purple in color) can be much fresher and less oxidized than the one glistening on the tray. The key is fat. This is where the butcher was completely right. What really defines the sensory experience of a good steak is not the color, but intramuscular fatpopularly known as “marbling” or “veining”. We talk about those fine streaks of white fat that infiltrate into the musclenot from the large layer of fat that surrounds it (which is also important to protect the piece, but that’s another story). And fat is responsible for the three most important virtues that we look for in a meat product. The first of them is the flavorsince fat is the vehicle for aromatic compounds, and during cooking this fat melts and releases these molecules, flooding the meat with flavor. A lean meat (without fat) It is, by definition, a meat with less flavor. Juiciness is the most obvious factor related to fat. As it melts, the intramuscular fat “waters” the steak from within, lubricating the muscle fibers and helping to retain water. It’s what makes the difference between a tender bite and a dry piece of cork. Studies on the sensory acceptability of beef show a direct and positive correlation: the more marbling, the higher consumer scores for flavor, juiciness and general acceptance. How to buy meat. So, the next time you go to a butcher shop, you don’t have to look at different points to have the best possible culinary and gustatory result. As summary points we can have the following checklist: Look for marbling: it is the number one quality indicator of a piece of meat. You should always look for pieces with a fine, well-distributed network of white fat veins. Color of fat: Intramuscular fat should be pearly white or, at most, slightly yellowish (something that indicates a step-based diet). What you have to avoid is pink, gray or reddish fats. The texture: a meat should have a firm, dense appearance and a dry surface (or slightly moist, but never sticky). If the mark disappears quickly when you press it with your finger, it is a good sign of freshness. If it is slimy or soft, that is a bad sign. Don’t focus on the color. When you see a piece with a dark, almost maroon color, you should not discard it immediately. This often indicates that it is an older animal or that it has gone through a dry-aging process. In these processes, the meat loses moisture and its own enzymes break down the fibers and increase the tenderness. In short, the color in the end, although it is the letter of presentation of a piece of meat, the reality is that it is not the only factor that directly influences the quality of the product that we are going to put in our mouths.

Huawei has created the most complex photographic system in the industry. The pure 80 ultra is the reflection of an unstoppable huawei

June 11, 2025 by usatoday24

Huawei has just presented its new pure family 80, smartphones that not only stand out for the engineering exercise that this generation has made, but because it is the main representatives of the technological point is the company in front of the rest of the world. Four models: Huawei pure 80, pure 80 pro, pure 80 pro+ and pure 80 ultra. The pure 80 ultra It is a national muscle exercise and A clear message to the rest of the world. A telephone that comes to show that Huawei, despite the limitations imposed by the United States, is in one of its best moments at the innovation level. Technical Card of Pura 80 Ultra Huawei Huawei pure 80 ultra Dimensions and weight 163 x 76.1 x 8.3 mm 233.5 g SCREEN 6.8 -inch OLED 2848 x 1276 pixels Ltpo 120 Hz, PWM 1440 Hz 300 Hz tactile sampling 3000 Nits Pico Brillo Kunlun Glass 2 PROCESSOR Without specifying (Kirin 9020) RAM 512 /1 TB STORAGE 16 GB BATTERY 5,700mah 100W by cable 80W wireless Reversible wireless 20 Rear cameras 50 MP, F/1.6-4.0, 1 inch, OIS 50 MP, F/2.4, 83mm, Zoom 3.7x Sensor Shift OIS 50 MP, F/2.4, 212mm, Zoom 9.4x Shit OIS Sensor (There is only one sensor for the two teleobjectives) 40 MP, F/2.2, 13mm, Ultra great angle Laser AF Front camera 13 MP, F2.0 Operating system Harmonyos 5.1 Connectivity Double -band wifi Bluetooth 5.2 NFC (China) USB c PRICE From 1,217 euros to change Look well this camera, because you are going to hallucinate with its operation. The summary. The Pura 80 Ultra Huawei is a muscle exhibition. Starting from what corresponds to any high range, we find a 6.8 -inch screen, an LTPO type oleed with 3,000 nits peak shine. Memory can be configured with up to 1 TB of internal storage and 16 GB of RAM, and the battery is 5,700mAh with fast charging of 100W. Slightly curved front. Huawei has not mentioned the chip, but it has not been long to know that both this model and the pro+ assemble the same Kirin 9020 that we saw in the Huawei Mate 70 Pro. It is a processor made of architecture of seven Nanometers of SMIC, the Chinese giant in semiconductors that is helping Huawei materialize his dream of achieving a device made only with national components. The groundbreaking. Reviewed the basic specs, Huawei wanted to be dominant in a section in which they have never lowered the rhythm: the camera. This telephone incorporates an inch sensor, which promises the greatest dynamic range of the industry. But here the star is not the main sensor, it is the teleobjective. With a size of 1.28 inches, the teleobjective of the pure 80 ultra is the largest in the industry. Such is its size, which Huawei has inclined its position so that the height of the camera module does not shoot. And, not happy with achieving this technical implementation, they have released something unique in mobile photography: get two teleobjectives with a single sensor. Two distances, a sensor. This 50 megapixel sensor allows 3.7 and 9.7 increases optical zoom. And no, it is not thanks to the digital zoom. The company has patented a simply spectacular system. What you see in the upper image is the sensor (the inclined, pink) to which light reflected through a prism is reaching. That prism moves through the module mechanically (using a gear system that literally displace it by the surface). According to the position of the prism and the mirror to which the light will reflect, the phone will shoot with a teleobjective or other. They are also the first teleobgers stabilized by SHIFT sensor (sensor stabilization), instead of OIS. A technology historically reserved for the main sensor, which has a traditional optical stabilizer. The results that Huawei has shown are impressive, especially in low light. Zoom 3.7x. This is, by far, the most advanced teleobjective system in the world. A solution to the problem of modular size and a photographic muscle exhibition as we had not seen to date. Let’s talk about the. Chatgpt and Google surprised the world with their ways with real -time processing and video of everything that saw the camera of our mobile. A function as powerful as terrifying that brings us closer to a future similar to that of ‘Her’. Huawei’s AI can already see by the user and interact in real time with its context. Huawei, with the help of Deepseek And Pangu has achieved an identical result. The pure 80 ultra, through its Xiaoyi voice assistant, can analyze in real time everything we show with the camera. It is an exclusive function of Harmonyos and Hongmeng AI, and another sample of where China is now in the AI race. Huawei literally calls it like this: anti-mirones protection. There are curious functions also based on AI. If the device detects that there is someone looking at our screen, the system will let us know so we can realize. With the launch of the pure huawei, Huawei announced collaboration with Depseek to improve its AI. They have not taken to show with this pure 80 ultra of what they are capable in this first stage. National hardware? After launch From Huawei Matebook Fold, they jumped weeks later relative leaks of the milestone that Huawei is achieving with his own hardware. A good part of the chips of this PC were made with Huawei. It is soon to know the interior of the pure huawei 80 ultra, but the key that surrounds this device is what is capable of making Huawei in the highest range of mobile phones. All probability, there will be surprises in your disassembly. Doubts mainly fall on Ryyb camera sensors, since It is rumored that the company has almost lists its approaches. The price. The Pura 80 Ultra Huawei will be sold in China from 9,999 yuan, 1,217 euros to change. It accumulates in its launch more than 200,000 reservations and … Read more

The game I have the most I have this year is an official adaptation of ‘Terminator 2’ and it is pure mega drive aesthetic

March 1, 2025 by usatoday24

‘Terminator 2’, La Legendary 1992 James Cameron movie that put the concept of the concept of Blockbuster and then nascent digital effects, had its corresponding adaptations to video games. Among them, a gun arcade that caused a furor in its day in the recreational rooms, an action and adventure title for almost all the microordination of the time, and adaptations of very varied fur for the entire Park Consolero of the moment, of 8 and 16 bits and even Game Boy. But none looked like the newly announced ‘Terminator 2: No Fate’. It is a game announced by surprise and that has all the aesthetics and atmosphere of the 16 -bit mega drive and super nintendo -type platform platform games. Pixelated but colorful graphics, limited but careful animations and digitalized replicas of the film’s actors and robots for the cutscenes. A true visual show that replicates several scenes of the film, from the flight of the Sarah Connor prison to persecution with the T-800 on the back of the motorcycle with John Connor, going through the initial visit of Schwarzenegger to the biker bar looking for something to put on top. Not only that, but ‘Terminator 2: No Fate’ Add levels and expand the narrative of the film with scenes from its harvest set, above all, in the future. There, a John Connor already faces machines at 2D massacre levels that in some graphic virguería have reminded us of the final bosses of classics such as ‘against’. In the game you can control, according to the phase, Sarah Connor, John Connor or T-800, although no details have been given about the possible mechanics that differentiate them beyond the obvious. Experience in Terminators The game is signed by Bitmap Bureauwhich intend to edit versions for PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch on September 5, 2025. The study is an expert in retro -flavor titles, as they have shown in the lateral action game ’88 Heroes’, in the Brawler ‘Final Vendetta’, which recovers the aesthetics and mechanics of ‘Final Fight’, and in the Shooter sand Cenital and cooperative ‘Xeno Crisis’. Three credentials that guarantee that they will do an excellent job with ‘Terminator 2: No Fate’. To this is added that the game is edited by Reef Entertainment, Publisher that has already entered the ‘Terminator’ franchise twicewith two games developed by Teyon and excellent results. ‘Terminator: Resistance’ and its DLC ‘Annihilation Line’ are fps that send us to the future, to the struggle of humanity against machines. There we will have to face many of the robots that we have seen in the movies. On the other hand, in a special way, games even allow the skin of an T-800 to annihilate humans.

Deepseek has had to pull pure ingenuity, breaking the “more = better” paradigm

January 28, 2025 by usatoday24

Satya Nadella, the general director of Microsoft, It is very clear: “Deepseek’s new model is really impressive both for how they have effectively develop a model of artificial intelligence (AI) open source which performs calculations in time of inference as for its incredible computational efficiency. We must take the developments from China very, very seriously (…) As IA becomes more efficient and accessible we will see that its use triggers, becoming a merchandise from which we cannot do without. “ In this statement to FortuneNadella gives credit to the technological triumph that the Chinese company Deepseek has reached. And he honors him that he recognizes him without ambiguity, especially if we are in mind that Microsoft is one of the competitors of the AI industry that has just a few hours ago witnessed how Its value in the bag has fallen in an abrupt way after the emergence of Deepseek R1. Anyway, we can be sure that to a large extent this AI model is the result of the pressure that US sanctions are exerting on Chinese companies. Jensen Huang, the founder and general director of Nvidia, He anticipated it in one of the statements he made at the end of May 2023 in Computex: “China is dedicating mass resources to the implementation of emerging companies specialized in the development of GPU. Do not underestimate them.” This warning was aimed at the US government in a clear attempt to prevent you about the consequences that They will have the sanctions that seek to stop the technological development of China. Huang talks about GPU Chinese designers, but his statement can be extrapolated to Chinese companies that develop AI models. After all, in this area, the GPUs and the great language models go hand in hand. USA will continue to lead in AI A good part of the sanctions approved by the administration led by Joe Biden as of October 7, 2022 seeks to slow down the development of the Chinese semiconductor industry, and also its AI technology. In fact, as we have just seen, the integrated circuits and the AI go hand in hand. These prohibitions prevent NVIDIA, AMD or Intel, among other chips manufacturers for AI applications, sell their most advanced GPU to their Chinese clients. This is presumably the germ of Deepseek’s greatest achievement. According to Depseek the infrastructure used to train its AI model 2,048 NVIDIA H800 chips If we stick to the information that this Chinese company has made the infrastructure used to train Depseek R1 agglutina 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. And training with 671,000 million parameters has cost 5.6 million dollars. This is precisely what Satya Nadella speaks in the statements that we have reviewed a few lines above. These figures are extremely restrained. Some analysts defend that, in reality, its infrastructure brings together 50,000 GPU H100 Buy through intermediaries, but for the moment it is just a conjecture. If we give the statements made by the Deepseek spokesmen to good Financial Timesand for the moment it is reasonable to do so, the reason why their engineers have mounted their training infrastructure on NVIDIA H800 GPUs is that US sanctions have prevented them from accessing the H100 chips, which are more powerful. The prohibitions of November 16, 2023 They prevent Nvidia Delivering to their Chinese clients the H800 GPUs, but presumably at that time Depseek already had its infrastructure assembled. In any case, at this situation the meritorious is that with a relatively modest chip this Chinese company has materialized a remarkable achievement. Depseek’s undisputed success is a victory for China, but it is a partial victory. This technological war at the moment is winning the US. Its advantage lies in an unappealable reality: the country led by Donald Trump controls so much Most GPU manufacturers Like many of the companies that are dedicated to developing AI models. And the latter have access without restrictions on the most advanced GPUs produced by NVIDIA and other companies. China has the Huawei GPU, which They seem to be very competitive In inference processes, and also with those of companies such as Moore Threads, Metax, Biren Technology, Innosilicon, Zhaoxin, Iluvatar Corex, Denglinai or Vast Ai Tech, among others. But, for the moment, it is in a position of clear disadvantage. Even so, this confrontation goes for long, so any conclusion that we reach about which country will finally impose itself in the AI domain, if any, it would be premature.
